Best Actors In Malayalam

The Top Ten

1MammoottyMammootty is an Indian film actor and producer best known for his work in the Malayalam film industry .

Though he is not choosing much performance scope films, he is doing the best whenever there s scope...

Mega Star...God of Molly woodProud of youth...

KING OF MALAYALAM FILM INDUSTRY

Mammootty has won 4 national awards for best actor.. The best by far for any malayalam actor. Put aside the box office numbers and the reviews mammootty is not a natural actor like Mohanlal but a method actor..When he plays as a character he is not mammootty the superstar but the character.. He is truly a legend

2MohanlalMohanlal Viswanathan Nair, better known as Mohanlal, is an Indian actor, producer and occasional singer best known for his work in Malayalam films .

What you think. Mohanlal is the worlds greatest star in entire universe. Worthy successor to the god even the great mighty actor will bow

Mohanlal the most refined product of malayalam film industry.. And with no doubt the most terrefic actor in Indian cinema.. He actually came into cinema as negative character but his talent made him the superstar of malayalam film along with mammootty.

The acting course at FTII, Pune shold be revised with the addition of a new topic "Lalism in Acting". Because he is the only natural and talented actor ever produced in the country with spontaneous acting ability and even reflecting the charecter in his minute body languages..."He has an amazing ability to just be the character and not play the character"-Mani Ratnam.

He is more desirable in acting more than Mammootty because he is a natural actor

What Suresh Gopi sir is in the 13th rank?. What a stupidity and non seance is this. Suresh Gopi is one of the milestone of malayalam cinema. When we study about him you can understand what is his role in malayalam cinema. So don't be partial to your hero and be do like this list sincerly. Thank You.

The Contenders

11Jayaram

SILENT SUPER STAR, AN ACTOR WHO CAN HANDLE ALMOST ALL ROLES

He is a real star of the masses. But unfortunately he didn't get the recognition he richly deserves. Who has not liked his films? Almost everybody likes him and his acting. Very cheerful and spontaneous. He never projects himself much through the media. Perhaps that may be his weakness. He should go ahead with positive attitude and do his best. Rest will be taken care of by the masses.

The Evergreen Superstar of Malayalam film industry.The people's choice.Janapriya nayagan.King of Hearts.

15Allu ArjunAllu Arjun is an Indian film actor who primarily works in Telugu cinema. After playing as a child artist in Vijetha and as a dancer in Daddy, Arjun made his adult debut in Gangotri. Arjun then appeared in Sukumar's debut film Arya.

If you watch Sathyan today, in 2013, you can tell that he was breed apart even 60 years ago. If he were to be at the same age as Mohan Lal today, his movies will be at the Oscar for foreign films!

I am sure that Sathyan must be credited with the all time Best Actor that Malayalam cinema hitherto produced. In those days he revolutionized cinema acting and today's actors, including Mammooty and Mohanlal, deliberately or otherwise have learnt many things and still have to learn many things from Sathyan. I happened to watch many of his movies on the advice of a film analyst who has got a degree in film making from Pune film institute. The "Bhavabinaya" is unparalleled in Sathyan.

Sathyan is the Best Actor all time in Malayalam; without any doubt at all will accept the fact.

The greatest actor of all time... the evergreen actor with great personality both on screen and off screen.

Prem Nazir is the most influential and trendsetting lead actor in Malayalam. He is known for his amazing longevity in that he was active during the peak years of other iconic Malayalam superstars like Sathyan and Jayan acting alongside them in 1960s and 1970s respectively. Nazir who began his movie career in the early 1950s, later acted alongside popular future stars like Shankar, Mammootty & Mohanlal by the 1980s. He was a mainstream superstar in Malayalam for over three-and-a-half decades (a world record)from the late 1950s to late 1980s. (Source: Wikipedia)

Definitely deserve number 1 in this list.

Evergreen sensation

The romantic, excellent, wonderful etc... Actor of all time in malayalam industry. He has not gone anywhere he is still like feaher in nature and lion in his sole

Most talented but unlucky actor ever in malayalam... Among superheros after mohanlal and he should be there in no 3 but no fans power and super hit but highly talented... His brother prithvy can't stand infront of him in acting

Superb actor in 1980s and 90s

27Innocent

Actor best for his comedy

Hilarious guy... makes the best comedy movies.

28Biju Menon

Probably the most underrated Malayalam actor. Very natural actor, never hams up his scene (overacts), equally good at comic and serious roles. He deserves to be in the top 15 at least, if not the top 10, considering that the top 10 will be occupied by old veterans like Thilakan and Sathyan. - gaali121

Class actor - only the movies itha ivied vare and lelam enough to mark his identity
